Fueled by Faith

DAY 1 OF 10

Day 1 - With faith, anything is possible.

In Luke 18:27, Jesus says that “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” God being able to do anything is a fact that has always been known, but this fact is what the gift of faith is founded upon. As previously described, faith is not some kind of optimistic way of thinking, nor is it anything that one can conjure up within himself. Faith is a gift that comes from the Holy Spirit, and given that nothing is impossible for God, we are able to trust that He will do what He has promised to do.

In Matthew 17:20, Jesus answers His disciples after they asked Him why they were unable to cast a demon out of a boy. Jesus’ answer is perfect (just as Jesus is): “Because of your little faith”.

Jesus goes on to explain how, if we have faith that is even the size of a grain of mustard seed, we can “say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move”. With faith, Jesus tells His disciples, “nothing will be impossible for you”.

It is by faith that we can see the lame walk, the blind see, and the deaf hear. When the Holy Spirit gives one the faith to believe something, it shall come to pass. The biggest cause of faith being wasted is one’s inability to recognize that, while God created logic, He is not bound by it. While God created our ability to reason, our ability to reason does not supersede God’s power. While God created our senses, our senses do not dictate God’s behavior, nor do our senses perceive all that God is doing.

If we take God at His word, if we trust in His ability to do whatever it is that He has said He will do, we will watch God move in ways that are beyond our comprehension. Faith is not without reason, but reason must not stifle the faith that we have been given. Trust God, ask Him to reveal His will for your life, and watch as He fills your heart with the faith to believe in that which He has revealed to you.

REFLECTION:

  1. Have you ever made a conscious effort to ask God to show you His will for your life?
  2. Has God ever revealed part of His will to you?
  3. Has God ever spoken to your heart? If so, what did it feel like? If not, why do you think that you have not heard from God?
Dan 2

About this Plan

Fueled by Faith

Faith is more than just the ability to believe, it is what empowers us to do what God has called us to do. Faith produces good works, it allows us to receive wisdom from God, and it gives us the boldness to do things that most would be afraid to do. You are invited to join us as we look at some of the ways that faith fuels us to do what God has called us to do.
